FREE TRADE.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no
doubt has largely benefited the con-
sumers, as well as relieving the bur-
den Of home manufacturers. Es-
pecially is this the case with Green's
August F3oWer and Boschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six
cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles con-
tanning these remedies, thereby CIV
ing one-ffth more medicine in the
70 cent size. The August F9oeccr tor
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and the German Syrup for cough and
lung troubles, have perhaps, the
largest sale Of any medicines in the
world. The advantage Of increased
size Of the bottles will be greatly APP
preciated by the sick and afflicted
in every town and village in c%iviliz-
ed countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same size.

Some people says Henry Wat
terson. estimate the ability Of n
periodical and the talent Of its editor
by tho amount ef original matter it
conlains, II is comparatively an
easy task for d frothy writer TO string
ont j column Of words upon any
mud all 4ubjects. His ideas may
flow On in 4 weak, washy, everlast-
ing Hood, and the command of his
language may enable him TO tie
them together like a bunch Of
onions, and yet his paper may be
but q nieagre and poor concern.
Indeed, the mere writing part Of
editing q paper IS but a small por-
linn 81 the work. The core. the
time employed in selecting, is far
more important, and the fact Of a
good editor il better shown by his
selections than anything else; and
that, we know, is half the battle.

takes one hundred and seventy five thousand Russian subjects to support one periodical, while in the United States there is one periodical to every four thousand people. Of the four hundred Russian periodicals, fifty five are daily, eighty-fve weekly and eighty seven monthly. Nearly one-half of these periodicals are published in St. Petersburg, and one-third in the seven next largest towns, leaving the rest of the Russian empire less than one hundred periodicals. There are, in fact, many towns of forty thousand inhabi- kind. The whole of Siberia with popula- tion of four million has only two newspapers and g bi-monthly of geographical society.
 Pretty nice people in Boston. It is related that the other day young Boston girl was asked by an elder member of her family to get "Tom Jones" from the public library. She wrote the numbers on her card and pre- sented it at the desk. Presently an attendant requested she would come and speak to the librarian. "Are you the person named on this cardF' "Yes." 'What book is it you wanta" "Tom Jones'" 'sThat book is not to be taken out by minors. It is an immoral book" "Ohl wanted it for my sister," "Who is your sister," etc., etc., until the child didn't know whether she was saying her catechism or was on the witness stand, and was frightened out of her wits. Finally, having satisfied them that she did not intend to peruse this sfimmoral masterpiece" she was permitted to depart. It was droll enouph to see nadauoisalle after this lecture in ethics, ostentatiously wrap up Fielding's novel in piece of paper so, as she said, the feelings of all parties concerned should not be troubled by its display in the public streets

HIGH LICENsE IN MINNRsOFA. .

The unanimity of opinion and the agree ment of facts concerning the good effect of high license issimpressive. The latest testi- mony comes from Minnesota. The law there imposes license of $1 ,00O in all cities containing population of 10000 or more, and $500 in cities of less than 10000. It has had fair test The St. Paul Pioneer Press has made careful study of it's working. It finds that in those cities and towns in which the new law is now enforced there has been falling off of one third in the aggregate number of saloons, while a similar decrease is with good reason predicted for those places where the old licenses have not yet expired. Expressing it in round numbers, of 1, $50 saloons which thrived and fourished under the old license, some $50 have been unable to meet the advance and continue in business under the new law. In Minneapolis the saloons have decreased in number from 534 to 227, in Duluth from 113 to GA, in Saltwater from 42 to B, and in Winona from 93 to 23. Generally speaking, the saloons driven out of existence were small ones, and many ot them hard places.
 It is found that saloon keepers as rule fear the new law and feel disposed to live up to it's mandates. Sunday selling, selling to minors and habitual drunkards and late closing are reported as greatly lessened. Many of the cities and towns report public order as improved. Generally speaking. business in the police courts, especially those Of the smaller cities and towns, does not ap. pear to be nearly so brisk as heretofore. While the saloons are reduced in number one-third, an increase of one-third in the revenue derived from them has followed the new law. The surplus is applied generally to municipal Improvements. Streets are be- ing graded, public buildings erected, interest on city bonds paid, fire apparatus purchased and taxes lessened. Public sentiment is re. ported as overwhelmingly in favor of the new law and high license. People generally are of the opinion that experience is proving that high license embodies the best means of controlling and regulating the sale of intoxi- eating liquors.
 This is the same story that is told wher- ever high lie nse has fair trial. It re- strains the liquor traffic, improves it's char acter and puts much money into the public Duraa

A Funeral Episode. IErnn the RnStnn Rndpat l

very funny episode occurred some years since on the occasion of funeral, at which the remains of celebrated Boston truckman were deposited in the classical cemetery of Mount Auburn. The deceased gentleman was prominent member of several military and Masonic organizations, and procession was made up by delegates of these bodies under the charge of Colonel Bob N. When they arrived at the cemetery gate another procession, following the remains of distinguished Celtic gentleman, made it's appearance.
 It was raining quite hard, and in the confusion which ensued when both parties alighted from their carriages at the same time, the leaders became somewhat mixed, and unfortunately Colonel Bob N headed the crowd of mourners bearing the remains of the distinguished Celt. Ar1iv- ing at the grave he announced in stentori- an tones: Brethren, fall in and join in the last tribute to our worthy comrade, Colonel Peter D-w Whereupon another loud voice shouted: ''Be gorra, you've got the wrong corpse!" And so it proved, for Colonel Bob NJ had headed the wrong procession, and the mourners of the illus trious truckman were awaiting at the gate their mistaken leader, who was quite dumbfounded at his unfortunate mistake.

Goethe's ssHanIet.D


 Two girls were sitting on a veranda at FL beron with matron the other morning. They attracted much attention by their magnificent costumes. The woman had on hand d-painted satin wrapper, and artistic gentleman sauntered up for nearer view of the wonderful vine of wistar that climbed her robust person from ground to throat. She was reading morning paper and com- menting thereon. This was what he heard
 "The florist 'begs to announce that his gladiolus exhibition will begin next Monday I'll bet dollar that my husband won't miss that. He'll see Sullivan every time he gives one of his matches" She read again: ''Al- though too old and heavy for the character, Booth will make Hamlet his piece de re- sistance the coming season."
 ''Yes, I seen him in that piece last year," said one of the girls.
 F'Which piece?" asked the other.
 ''The piece of resistance" good-naturedly explains the matron; 1T mean Hamlet"
 ''Well it's the same piece. Hamlet is the best of Schiller's plays"
 "Schillersa Why, it ain't spelled that way here," protested the reader. "I don't mean Schiller, but Goethe" cor rected the girl
 And her friend said: ''Of course Goethe. saw Booth play it myself often and often. It was written purpose for him, but he's play it, just as Mckee Rankin lets that other fellow play The Danites, and Neil Burgess let's that man play Widow Bedott.'" The earrings in their intellectual heads would have paid years rental of theater, and the hand painted morning dress had cost as much as poor Shakespeare ever made out of his plays
